Re: Miswaak and its Benefits
No one is saying that the Prophet never used miswak, nor recommended it. Why can't you guys accept that the principle of the matter is still being followed by a toothpaste and toothbrush. The toothbrush is just an advanced miswaak, that's all. You really think the Prophet would have discouraged you to use toothpaste and would have told you to use a miswaak.
You guys think he asked his followers to use a miswaak because their is something magical about the wood or something. In reality, he was just telling people to keep their mouths clean.
You can do that with a toothpaste and toothbrush. Please stop complicating things.
Oh God why don't we reason and understand the background of issues, recommendations and context. PG you are a rare breed who can see the light. As we are still fighting over beards, miswaak, length of pants over foot-ankle, circumcision, and what not.
Thumbs-up to your view (my kind of thinking)
